Here's something we don't see very often:  a big smile in a Victorian cabinet card portrait.  This is Nathan (Nate) Salsbury (1846-1902), founder and manager of Salsbury's Troubadours, a musical comedy troupe that performed in the 1870s-80s.  Salsbury later became co-owner of the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show.

I was just thinking his teeth look remarkably worn. Hm!
